Affair.
Washington, June 2. S. J. Konen-
kamp, president of the Commercial
Telegraphers' union, stated here to
day that no date had been set for
a nation-wide telegraphers' strike,
and that the threatened walkout in
tlanta was purely a local affair.
Almost simultaneously with Mr.
Konenkamp's statement, Postmaster

been dismissed because of union af
filiations they would be reinstated at
once and that steps would be taken
to discipline the responsible officials

pany. Atlanta Operators Start Walkout.

ance with an ultimatum served on
the officials of the Southern Bel1

reinstate a number of girls dis
charged for alleged union affilia
tions. Shortly after that hour more
than one hundred and fifty girls had
left switchboards.

plosions, but most people reported
only one. It had, however, terrific
force. Members of attorney general

Pittsburgh, June 2. A bomb ex
plosion which occurred two doors
from the residence of United States
District Judge W. S. Thompson, late

occurred on the porch of C. J. Cas
sady's residence in the fashionable

few minutes after the Highland dis
trict explosion another bomb ex
plosion occurred in the West End
district. Residences were badly
damaged and W. W. Sibray, chief
inspector of the bureau of immigra
tion here was thrown from his bed.
The Sibray residence is located
across the street from where the

spector, who has been active in the
deportation of enemy aliens.

house of State Representative Ice
land W. Powers, a son of former

To be right it must be dependable in all emergencies.
The STEERING GEAR on GMC Tracks hat stood
the test of years.
Thousands of GMC Trucks are in service in all
. parts of the countrywe have yet to hear of any
STEERING GEAR trouble of any description.
All working parts are enclosed in a dirt-proof and
oil-tight housing and are packed in grease.
The working surfaces are exceedingly large a&d in
service will show little wear. Any lost motion
can readily b adjusted.
By taking up the floor board and removing four
nuts the entire gear may be removed as a unit.
The STEERING WHEEL is extra large and
strong will not rattle and will not work loose.
The spark and throttle levers are conveniently
located above the wheel, are extra large and can be
bandied by the driver when wearing heavy gloves.
The simplicity and thoroughness of construction m

republic of German-Austrian.
He was immediately stopped and
the diplomatic blunder in the appar
ent recognition of the Germanic at
tributes of the new republic cor
rectd. The translator was now so nerv
ous that presently he was caught
telling the Austrians their replies
must be verbal, instead of written.
Dr. Karl Renner, head of the Aus
trian delegation, rose to reply at the
end of the translation, but M. Cle
menceau waved him to his seat to
permit M. Dustasta, secretary of
the conference, to place before him
the text of the skeleton draft of the
treaty. The Austrian delegate then
rose and read his speech. He caused
considerable surprise by choosing
the trench as the medium for his
remarks.
M. Clemenceau and Marshal Foch,
the latter sitting with the French
delegation were obviously pleased
at the choice of the language. As
Dr. Renner proceeded with his dis
course, revealing a tone of modera
tion and absence of recrimination or
boasting the strain which had hung
over the plenipoteniaries relaxed and
all settled down to calm and rea
soned appreciation of the Austrian
plea.
Austria was given 15 days to re
ply to the terms.
The Austrian treaty follows ex
actly the same outline as the Ger
man and in many places is identical
with it, except for the change in
name. Certain specific clauses
which applied only to Germany are,
of course, omitted and certain new
clauses included, especially as re
gards the new states created out of
the former Austro-Hungarian em
pire and the protection of the rights
of the Hungarian empire, and the
protection of the rights of the racial,
religious and linguistic minorities in
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania
and the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian
state.
Austria is left by the treaty a
state of from six million or seven
million people inhabitating a terri
tory of between 5,000 and 6,000
square miles. She is required to
recognize the complete independ
ence of Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia
and the Serbian- Croatian-Slovenian
state, and to cede other territories
which previously in union with her,
composed the empire of Austria
Hungary with its population of over
fifty million people.
Austria agrees to accept the
league of nations covenant and the
labor charter, to renounce all its
extra European rights, to demobil
ize its whole naval and aerial forc
es, to admit the right of trial by the
allied and associated powers of its
nationals guilty of violating the law
and customs of force and to accept
detailed provisions similar to those
of the German treaty as to economic
relations and freedom of transit.
Chancellor Renner, the Austrian
chancellor, probably will go to
Switzerland tomorrow. He re
mained at St. Germain today after
the conclusion of the presentation
of the allied terms.
In addition to the conference of
representatives of the allied and as
sociated powers, there were present
many distinguished persons, includ
ing Marshal Foch, General Bliss,
and American Ambassador Wallace.
Chancellor Renner promised to do
his best to bring about peace on the
allied conditions.
Col. E. M. House was the only
one of the American delegation not
present at the session.
Omaha Bohemians Welcome
Czecho-Slovak Heroes
Crowd of 4,000 Greet 100 Casuals On Way From Siberia
to Homeland; Practically All of Men Convalescing
From Wounds; Greeted at Station By Shower of
Flowers; Mayor Delivers Address.
A mighty welcome was exten.ded
by more than 4,000 local Bohemians
to 100 of their heroic countrymen,
casuals, scarred and maimed in five
vears of war, at the Auditorium,
Monday night at 10:30 o'clock. The
men, who are enrotite from Vladivo
stok. Siberia, to their homeland, ar
lived in this city after numerous de
lays, about 10:15.
They are the- first contingent of
5,000 Czecho-Slovak casuals as
sembled at the Siberian port to pass
through this country.
The unit consists of six officers
and 94 men. Practically every one
of the members of the unit is con
valescing from serious wounds.
Many of them have lost either an
arm or a leg. Others are blind.
Four are in such bad condition that
they were forced to remain in the
train.
Come From Coast.
The crippled heroes were brought
to San Francisco from Siberia by
Maj. Joseph Doshek. Col V. S.
Hurban, military attache of the
Czecho-Slovak legation at Washing
ton, who has himself seen much
service on the Siberian and Russian
fronts, joined the detachment upon
their arrival in this country. Col.
C. S. Hamilton and First Lieut. W.
H. Rice, both of California, are ac
companying the men as representa
tives of the United States govern
ment. As the train bearing the wounded
heroes pulled into the Burlington
station a shower of flowers thrown
by little flower girls greeted the
men. They were rushed to the
Auditorium where Mayor Smith de
livered an address of welcome.
Various Bohemian speakers then
addressed the convalescents in their
own tongue, saying no greater serv
ice was rendered by any men to the
cause of democracy than these men.
Subscribe $2,000.
More than $2,000 lias been sub
scribed by Bohemians of the city to
be distributed among their "own
heroes."
The romantic history of the men
began with their desertion from the
Austrian army to the Russian forces.
Until the overthrow of the czar and
the establishment of the bolshevik
regime the men fought their former
oppressors, the Austrians, together
with the Russian troops.
The Brest-Litovsk treaty and
their betrayal by the bolsheviki
forced them to take up arms against
the new enemy. This handful of
troops held the longest front ever
held by any army in the world s
history. They also kept in prison
between 200,000 and 300,000 military
captives of the central powers, ac
cording to A. W. Chez, Y. M. C. A.
secretary, who spent 18 months with
these troops on the Siberian front.
Mr. Chez expressed the belief that
the Czecho-Slovak army was the
most democratic in the world.

Reports of Jewish
Massacres Justify
Rebuke From U. S.
Washington, June 2. Reports
thus far received of the alleged
massacres of Jews in Poland and
other countries of eastern Eurooe
justify a rebuke to the governments
of those countries by the U. S. con
gress, Representatives Siegel, La
guardia and Goldfogle, all of New
York, declared today at a hearing
before the house Foreign Affairs
Committee on resolutions relating
to the alleged ill-treatment.
Ihe new Polish government in
turn was defended against the po
grom charges by Representative
Kleczka, of Wisconsin, who asserted
the representations of massacres
were of "German origin an ddesigned
to show that Poland was incapable
of self government."
The Poles in this country, he as
serted, courted an investigation of
their naitve land.
Three resolutions, one by each of
the three New York representatives,
led to the hearings.
Jews Parade as Protest
Against Pole Atrocities
Cleveland, O., June 2. With muf

protest to the reported anti-Jewish
persecution in Poland and Galicia.
Many stores and factories closed
during the afternoon, the Jewish
working people observing a half-

REVENUE LAW
NEEDS REVISION,
SAYS JDREWS
Wants Soft Drink Section In
corporated Into Sections
900 to 907; Would Elim
inate Objections.
By a Staff Correspondent.
Washington, June 2. Representa
tive Andrews, speaking of the ef
forts being made by the ways and
means committee to repeal section
904 of the revenue law relating to
taxes on luxuries, so-called, said to
day :
"Sections 900 and 907 inclusive, of
the revenue law, should be thor
oughly revised, together with sec
tion 9,?0, the soft drinks section, in
one lull, instead of carrying section
'04 in a bill by itself. This would
take away certain manifest objec
tions to these various sections.
"The discussion has indicated that
e combined revenue that would
he collected under all these sections
would exceed $200,000,000. That
money will be urgently needed to
help meet a prohibitive deficit of be
tween $5,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,
000. Next year we should, however,
find other sources of revenue at
once to furnish that amount and re
peal these objectional excess taxes
without undue delay.
"I am in favor of recommitting
the bill, with instructions to the
ways and means committee to re
port a measure that will take care
of all these consumption taxes at
one and the same time."
